Thanks Andreas,
I will look into that video. I respect Mr. Nongard's work. I am sure he will have a wealth of knowledge on his video.

Hello fellow hypno enthusiasts!
My name is Tim and I am a music teacher/performer nlp/hypno student. I would like to learn how to structure a hypnotherapy practice and I would like to know your best resources in order to learn how to do it in the most cost effective and professional manner. What are your suggestions? I also think this group could learn a from this process. My region is Bucks County near Philadelphia. What is the best way in the current economy to learn how to build a hypno practice from scratch? The "right" way (if you will)?

Donna,
Have you considered tying health month in to World Hypnotism Day?

I am currently putting together a notebook full of articles that I collect regarding hypnosis in every area. I am printing these off or cutting these out and putting them in plastic sleeves in a "general notebook". My thought is that when I start doing workshops next year I will be able to dig into this notebook, grab articles to support using hypnosis in whatever areas I'm working in, lets say for arguments sake here, stress, I can grab all the stress articles out and put them in a separate notebook. The main one I will also take and have each area tabbed off so during breaks the people can look at all the other areas that hypnosis helps with. I will also leave the one designed for stress on the table too. The reason I am going to have a smaller one on the subject I'm dealing with is so I can refer to it and it won't be as cumbersome.

I've been thinking about ways of generating business that are a bit off the main path. I live in Salt Lake City, UT and this area is just full of theatrical groups, dance groups and studios, ect. I'm going to create a program for reducing stage fright, better memorization and optimizing performances. I will then approach these institutions and offer group and private sessions. I'll let you know how it goes.

I love the idea Donna, not only did you start a healthy kickoff to the new year but you will also get a lot of referrals from his.
Great job
Steve

Hi Donna,

It's a great idea!

It sounds like a plan and it's really exciting not to know how it will turn out exactly and be able to expect a huge success-- Blah, blah, blah.... Enjoy every moment of this --

Here is an idea - that may be good, so I thought I would share (note: I live in a tourist/small town). I really wanted to get my name out there and I was looking for opportunities...when one day while brainstorming, I was thinking "wouldn't it be nice if there was a "health month" or a "month devoted to alternative health" in my town - who better to talk to about this than the Chamber of Commerce. Since I knew the "go to" guy over at the chamber I accidentally ran into him one day (on purpose) and I said in passing, "what month is the health month?" (as he looked at me funny) I said, "I thought this city celebrated a month, you know...devoted to healthy lifestyles, body, mind, and spirit, you know...this town is so into spas and health and alternative things... would you get back to me (gave him my card) with that month so I can prepare for it?" He was like, "ya...I'll look at my calendar."
He just got back to me... It starts the new year...runs the entire month of January. What a great idea HE had. >evil grin<
I have now noticed little articles in the paper on different people that will be involved - I will have my article in there shortly.
The beauty of it is... they are talking about alternative, mind/body, healthy life choices. They have had articles in the paper for the last two weeks about it and they will be advertising (NO CHARGE TO ME) for the next two months! Because it is the Chamber running it. Not sure how it will turn out exactly... but I like the idea of networking with like minds, free advertising, and bigger crowds than normal at the local spa when I tell them all about hypnosis. I'll let you all know how it goes.

FYI-
We are moving into the Holiday Season--

Millions of people will be reacting to Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year in very unhealthy ways. For these people feeling blue, over-eating, binge-drinking, and increased drug use are part of their holiday season--

The great news is that hypnosis practitioners/NLPers can help --

Hint: Chose a not-for-profit organization that you believe in and offer to conduct a (free-) seminar or series seminars as a way to help them raise funds- They can charge $5 or $10 for your one hour presentation.

Market you offer as a win-win for everyone - It will raise funds and good will for the organization - it will help their communities and it will give you the pleasure and satisfaction of doing service and you will increase your standing in your community and meet potential clients-
